"The Cross on my forehead is painful especially when I pray. On certain days such as first Fridays of the month it begins to bleed. Before the phenomenon of stigmatization, I had gifts of languages (speaking in tongues), the gift of healing, the gift of counsel and slowly the gift of knowledge came also. After the stigmatization I receive many other gifts. Some of these gifts overwhelmed me very much. And so I need some time to get accustomed to what was happening. By this, I refer especially to the gift of levitation, bilocation, illumination and the knowledge of upcoming events- the knowledge about the near future and especially about future dangers"."
As the spokesman for the Diocese says, they have taken no position on it. I remain very skeptical, especially in light of his somewhat outrageous claims.
There is no such thing as a habit of foreknowledge. This guy is a scam artist - a Benny Hinn with his hand out.
The fact that he is running all over the place, calling attention to himself, and talking about his "gifts" make me dislike him intensely, "gifts" or no.
Of course, stigmatas can also be self-induced, psychologically.
Assume he's a fraud, but lots of gullible people will turn out to see him.
